X Sends Cease-and-Desist to Nitter Then Targets Source Code

The New Stack reports X sent Nitter a cease-and-desist notice. The company then went after the project's source code. Nitter serves as an open-source way to view X posts without an account or tracking. The platform had already restricted API access for outside tools. The new step requires removal of the publicly posted code. The New Stack states X is no longer limiting itself to API controls and now seeks to eliminate the open source repositories. All details come from the single reported case involving this project.
